Can I charge without an RFID fob?
Yes. We recommend the RFID fobs as the most convenient and reliable way to charge your car without requiring the use of a smartphone. However, charging can be done without the fobs in one of the following ways:
- By remotely activating the stations either using your smartphone and going to charge.net.nz “start charge” or via our free app.
- By Text. If you have lodged your mobile number onto your account, you may also text the word CHARGE and the key number printed on each station to 226. Note, some of our older stations do not offer this option.
- Alternatively, you can phone 0800 2 CHARGE and we can activate the station for you. We try to be available 24/7 on a voluntary basis. If you can’t get through on the phone, it is best to keep trying rather than leaving a message which won’t be answered until business hours.
